To have the Players' Representative elected by the member clubs would just be wrong.

No-one wants the Players' Representative to be by administrators. Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) wants its Players' Representative to be elected directly by the people whom he/she serves.Thus the Players’ Representative
is not be elected at the AGM, but instead is elected by
Registered Players who are in standing and who are fully-paid-up.

Even though MSSA sends out numerous communiques about the election, there are always some players who through no-ones fault, slip through the cracks.Thus, as long as MSSA can show that it has made every reasonable effort in notifying the membership, it is deemed that all Registered Players have been notified of
the election should the member clubs have been timeously notified.

It is therefore imperative that all member clubs keep all their Registered Players fully informed.The election of the
Players’ Representative is then conducted in the following manner:

All Registered Players who
have senior Provincial, National, and Protea Colours may send in
their vote on the prescribed voting form for their choice of
candidate.

The
vote may be submitted either per facsimile or by e-mail.

Such
vote must reach the General Secretary by the close of business on or
before two days prior to the AGM.

All Registered Players are thus requested to start the conversation as to who they want to see as their Players' Representative for 2019 to 2021.
